The Sakakibara Kikai Co. Kid's Walker, a gas-powered exo-suit mecha armor for the young'uns. Now that'll score some serious geek points in the neighborhood, right… at least, it will if there's anything left of the block after junior's finished putting a power fist through the greenhouse!

But it's not really a walker— the "feet" are clearly covering wheels, and move for effect, not actual motive power. But a fun ride for kids— not that I'd risk turning control of something that large and heavy over to someone under the age of 25. (I ruled out 15-24 because any male in that age range would invariably try to go smash something with it. And any girl would probably try to text while controlling it, with effectively the same result.) |

If I were a kid I would say that is some weak sauce. A rollerskating mech. Oh well, better than nothing. |

Well, would you want to clean the vomitus out of the cockpit of one that could actually walk? Not that I believe one could. Still wasn't rollerblading the secondary propulsion for Heavy Gears? |
